i was quite sure5
be about a foot5
shown in the illustration5
i have heard of5
that was in the5
the form of the5
traps for feathered game5
i think it is5
that seems to me5
use care in setting5
as shown in our5
than those of the5
in some places the5
after following the trail5
the case may be5
the nature and habits5
back of the hind5
the trail to the5
of the newhouse trap5
that the bees were5
a look at our5
and i could see5
to see that there5
if he could not5
in regard to this5
i told him to5
of the trap should5
the same size as5
it is not the5
the first night of5
by the weight of5
is an excellent plan5
i was pleased to5
i will tell you5
told me that he5
i thought that i5
is almost sure to5
for no other purpose5
go down to the5

the men of the5
resembles that of the5
to the root of5
be set at the5
in the wake of5
the roof of the5
in the eastern states5
and it can be5
one of the worst5
in the act of5
i should like to5
he was going to5
eight inches from the5
into the ground in5
a closed season on5
touch on the bait5
was only a few5
did not know what5
the pelt of the5
lost in the woods5
up the trail of5
the fact that they5
the time they had5
in parts of the5
i will say that5
that the white deer5
should be of the5

i could not tell5
he replied that he5
i would go and5

at the other end5
to the white man5
and it was not5
out of the country5
seems to be a5
and he did not5
a common thing to5

it often happens that5

we were quite sure5
into one of the5
they came to a5
it was a very5
that sort of thing5
as in the case5
it is almost impossible5
he would go and5
hole in the ice5
different modes of setting5

about four feet in5
will be caught in5
